Option b is more or less what my pool uses now actually. I misspoke in my prior message. I vote option b.
Sometimes my zapper clicks twice instead of once. Does that happen to you as well or maybe my laptop is just getting old and has a sticky zapper? They didn't forsee zaps then they put these things through the repetitive stress tests.
Anyways, I agree. This is my preferred option.

Once in a while. I got you back.

It was only 10 extra sats I sent. So sending you back the original 50 and further breaking my laptop zapper. One day it will probably go haywire and tip my entire SN stack.
Speaking of which. I usually like to donate some of my tipped and rewarded sats to geyser fund projects. Not all, but some. Have you seen any Bitcoin fundraising done on SN yet. I haven't noticed it but that seems to make a ton of sense.

I started copying Anita Posch's Orange Pill newsletter to SN every Saturday and forwarding the sats to her. I didn't get a great response and haven't done it the past few weeks. I'll get back to it.
Months ago I also got solicited by a few guys alleged to be from Ghana, but it became apparent they were scammers. I think donations is an excellent idea and I am interested to hear your thoughts.

Traffic on weekends seems to be lower. Maybe try a different day or maybe give it a catchy name to grab people's attention. I also find shaming people is an effective strategy. It works in my friend group at least but maybe not for everyone. If I see a worthy cause I want to make people aware of I might forward it and say "I know you are a cheap bastard but this is a really good cause so do me a favour and dig deep this one time".

Good idea. She sends it out on Saturday, so that's why I picked that day. Maybe I'll wait until Monday from now on. What other ideas do you have?

Are you just posting the link or writing a post about it. I apologize for my ignorance but I must have missed these posts from you. I think I do recall clicking on one and responding awhile back that Anita is the best. I am a fan of hers as well.
If you are just posting a link, I think you should do a short write up with it. I think a Siggy endorsement carries a lot of weight on this site. You are well respected here. So if you do a small write up with the link saying you want to highlight what Anita is doing, I think people will be more compelled to click the link.
You can always ask them to zap your post and say you will match the zaps up to a certain level and donate that to Anita.

Here's the situation with Anita. She doesn't have a linkable newsletter, at least that I can find. So, I have to copy the text and then embed the links. It can be pretty time consuming. I do occasionally comment, but maybe I should make it a more uniform post. I do contribute to her Bitcoin For Fairness organization directly separately, and always include a link:
